Sex-ratio adjustment in response to local mate competition is achieved through an alteration of egg size in a haplodiploid spider mite

Sex-ratio adjustments are commonly observed in haplodiploid species. However, the underlying proximate mechanisms remain elusive. We investigated these mechanisms in Tetranychus urticae, a haplodiploid spider mite known to adjust sex ratio in response to the level of local mate competition (LMC). In...
